palitexunion.com is an impersonation phishing site built to pass itself off as a trusted service and win the confidence of crypto users. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-03. As of 2026-10-19 the domain was still online and reachable, but its content sits behind access protection. The page currently shows the title "403 Forbidden," while we classify the site as impersonation phishing.
How the scam works
Impersonation sites copy the name, look and tone of a real platform so visitors believe they are dealing with the genuine service. The victim is then steered into the step the operator wants: signing in, submitting identity details, or sending a deposit to an account they think is their own. Logins entered on the page go straight to the operator, and any money sent is lost to the fake platform. A forbidden-access screen shown to some visitors does not mean the site is harmless. Anyone arriving through a direct link or promotion may still see the full impersonation page.
Evidence
Five of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain in a scan on 2026-10-15: Bfore.Ai PreCrime, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft and SOCRadar. That is a small share of engines, but it comes from five unrelated vendors, several of which specialise in catching newly launched phishing infrastructure. The domain also appears in one AlienVault OTX threat pulse and on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-01-30 through Global Domain Group LLC. It went roughly eight months before PhishDestroy caught it. That gap suggests the name was held in reserve or used quietly before it surfaced in an active campaign. It resolves to 23.153.104.17 on the Aquiryn LLC network in the United States. Its Let's Encrypt certificate gives visitors a padlock icon, which shows only that the connection is encrypted, not that the site is legitimate.
What to do
If you logged in to anything through palitexunion.com, change that password immediately, along with any other account that reuses it, and turn on app-based 2FA. If you sent money or crypto, contact your bank or the real platform's support right away and keep every transaction reference. Do not pay any "verification" or "release" fee the site or its contacts demand, because those payments only add to the loss. If you submitted ID documents, watch for identity misuse and targeted follow-up messages. Security teams should block the domain and its IP at DNS and proxy level, and search mail and web logs for users who reached it after 2026-10-03.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
Cosa devo fare subito?
Urgente
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Modifica tutte le password — e-mail, account Exchange, qualsiasi servizio che utilizzi la stessa password
Abilita l'autenticazione a due fattori (2FA) utilizzando un'app di autenticazione (non via SMS). Disattiva il recupero tramite SMS
Carte congelate se hai inserito i tuoi dati bancari sul sito di phishing
Quali informazioni devo raccogliere per la mia relazione?
Linee guida dell'FBI
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Date e orari esatti — di ogni transazione e del primo contatto con il truffatore
Schermate — siti web truffaldini, messaggi in chat, e-mail, transazioni tramite portafoglio digitale, social media
Tutti gli URL e i domini utilizzato dal truffatore (tra cui palitexunion.com)
Comunicazioni — e-mail, SMS, numeri di telefono, nomi utente utilizzati dal truffatore
Anche se non conosci tutti i dettagli — sporgere comunque denuncia. Anche le informazioni parziali sono comunque utili alle indagini.
A chi devo segnalare la truffa?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (sistema di segnalazione federale degli Stati Uniti)
Europol — Segnalazioni relative alla criminalità informatica in Europa (UE)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Polizia locale — crea un documento ufficiale, anche se non è in grado di agire immediatamente
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Siti web fasulli — cloni perfetti, al pixel, di siti legittimi con domini leggermente modificati
Macellazione dei suini — fiducia conquistata nel corso di settimane tramite Telegram/WhatsApp/app di incontri, per poi rubare i soldi
Truffe legate al recupero dei fondi — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Truffe basate sull'intelligenza artificiale — i deepfake, il phishing automatizzato e i siti generati dall’intelligenza artificiale rendono più difficile individuare le frodi
Come posso proteggermi in futuro?
Aggiungi i siti ufficiali ai preferiti — Non cliccare mai sui link contenuti nelle e-mail, nei messaggi diretti o negli annunci pubblicitari
Verifica i domini — controllare PhishDestroy prima di interagire. Verifica l'HTTPS, l'ortografia e l'età del dominio
